Let's start with the fact that Falicia Blakely was a dark skinned woman with brown eyes. Casting a light skinned actress was totally f.. up. They also cast a biracial child as her daughter.
This obsession with light skinned women and long weaves is rather f... pathetic and undermines the credibility of the film, according to every image I have seen. Tasha Smith, a brown skinned actress who rarely works probably because of her hue, should know better. There are plenty of struggling dark skinned actresses who could have been cast for this role. A dark skinned black woman can't catch a break ion this industry even when black folks are making the casting decisions.
The acting and writing are okay.
